Jimmie 0'Lee, a workman ct the Wheel

and went on up the track. He saw him
turn down towards Chamber's row vhou
he reached that locality. Shortly after he
came up on the track again and started
along the railroad once more. Saw him
meet Martin and talk; then they walked
back together to the row. Martin handed
some pick handles to O'Neil and went
down to the row, then came back and
they had another talk together, Martin
started toward his homes and ONE ell stated

towards O'Neil. a shot was fred and
O'Aeil made q move as il to getbehind the

Flood, Fire and Fights.

Yesterday was Of certainty a
day Of greater excitement than Miles
City has had since the last elec
tioL and "Ekslaka not yet heard
from" With the general loosening
up which followed the fire Of noon,
added to by the exact opposite of
water running over Park street. the
amount of excitement must needs be
stimulated by copious draughts OF that
which quencheth not thirst-next
morning. From these libations bad
blood IL warmed over and several rows
snd rumpuses were stirred up and a
knock down. A very black practical
joke was played on one OF our most
noted practical jckers ond then rub
bed in. For the lack Of respectable
food the night was made bideous by
the stayers doing their own flooding
and without regard for consequences,
appearances. disturbances, or any per-

was consulted. and his reply was go

Porcupine Bridge.

The Little Porcupine wagon bridge,
Lately built and completed by Fred
Whiteside, and by him partially turn
ed over TO the county commissioners
after inspection by the county survey
or. went out with the ice In that
stream yesterday. The river was near.
ly mile wide and running over the
bridge before il went out and practic.
ally demonstrated that the Little Por-
cupiue could not be bridged with lit
tie less regard than would be exhibit
ed in throwing foot bridge across a
dry slough. The bridge seems not to
have been long enough by half mile,
strong enough by one half nor high
enough up from the stream by ten
feet. It's gone now and the question
of greatest moment IL who is to be the
sufferer by its loss. MIR. Whiteside
considers that be had virtually turned
the bridge over to the county and
what the county thinks is not yet
made public.

Effect Inon the Railrnad.

For two days and two nights gangs
Of railroad hands have been steadily
working to rebuild bridges and track
washed out all along the Yellowstans
valley by the unparalleled thaw and
high water. Last night they were
allowed rest, and this morning begin
again upon the work that must be
done, and that quickly. From end to
end of the Yellowstone division come
reports OF the damage done by the
torrents. Hundreds OF feet of
track an' grade have been washed
away and half dozen small bridges,
and 1t is reported, but cannot be SUBJ
stantiated, that the Rosebud bridge,
similar to that which spans Tongue
river, but shorter. has been carried
out by the Ice gorge near the mouth of
the Rosebud. Ii is scarcely probable
that any train will arrive from east or
west sooner than Monday night, and
II is doubtful that they may arrive so
soon as that. The roadbed through
out this division is the most dangerous
along the line Of the Northern Pa
cific railroad and Is especially so dur.
ing the sudden spring thaws. but
there have teen fewer accidents mile
for mile on this division than any
other section Of this great trans.conti-
mental line. We would like to give
the location Of bridges and washouts,
but railroad employees "never know
anything"

THE FIRE FIEND.

II Visits Our City Once More Destroying
Losses, Etc.
At about 1870 yesterday the sound OF
fire was heard and II was soon located
at the lumber yard of Fred Whiteside.
The usual fire aIarms-pistol shots
and the ringing Of church bells,
brought several hundred people to the
scene of Obstruction; occurring as II
did, in the middle of the day there
WAS many willing hands to assist In
sunduing the flames. 1t is believed
that the fire caught from pipe which
must have been left in the work shop
by some Of the carpenters, who were
busy there during the forenoon, but
had gone to dinner. The room In
which the fire caught was lined with
canvass, this with the paints and oils
slowed away In the building made
good food for the flames.
The principal loss was on the build
ing material. including lumber, lsth,
shingles, moulding, building paper,
glass, etc. Through the efforts OF the
people much Of this stock was saved.
Too much credit cannot he given to
Lutte Dear and Walter Gibbs, who
did noble work on the roof ofthe Office,
and through their efforts saved IT,.
The stock was only partially insured
about s., 2,25G being soout two-thirds
the loss; and the lumber building
covering the shingles, latb, etc., WAS
insured for 500. There was no insur-
ance whatever upon the workshop, il
being an entire loss, bat the stock in
side was fully covered by insurance.
By the earnest efforts of the public,
who are 30 willing at all times TO lend
a helping hand. much was done TO
confine the flames to the lumber yard.
l.. J. Whitney's residence had very
close call, and had II not been for
slight change in the wind his build
ings would have been ra,t saving. As
usual in the case of fire here there
was no water to be had only that
found standing in puddles in the
street. the well in the yard being out
Of order. The purchase Of the much
needed fire engine is being agitated
now by many parties who feel ready
and willing to put up for some needed
fire protection.

Starving Cheyennes.

We are Informed that great destitu.
ton exists among the Cheyennes on
the Rosebud and Tongue rivers. 1t
appears from what can be learned
that Agent Upshaw last fall caused
the Indian beef cattle to be taken over
to Mollock's Forks on the Crow re-
serve. distant about thirty miles from
the Cheyenne agency, and turned
loose. The result is that nearly or
quite all Of the cattle drfted back to
their old range In Wyoming. aud
even had they not done 80, IL would
have been an impossibility to have
driven them weekly to the agency,
owing to the depth Of snow and the
distance. This Ill advised action Oh
the part of Agent Upshaw has resulted
most disastrously to the Cheyennes,
~ they have had no beef rations for
six weeks past. Agent Upshaw, we
are informed, In the early part Of the
month Of December, 1886. refused to
receive any more OF the flour for the
Indians on the ground that, when
he wanted -four he would 80 order
1t" which act caused the freighters to
lie idle during the month Of December.
After the great snow storm Of Janu-
ary lst, Agent Upshaw finds he wants
flour and soon learns that no -four
could be hauled through the great
depth Of snow, some sixty.five miles,
another act Of stupidity for which not
the faintest shadow Of an excuse can
be found, and at the date Of this issue
the Cheyennes will have received their
last ration Of flour. No beef, no -four;
during the past fifteen days, the In
dians have been eating their dead
ponies and what little meat they could
get from cattle that have died from
starvation. near their camps. The
condition OF these Indians calls for an
